I've been bullied by cops as well. Police work is a thankless, dangerous job.. look at the horrific tragedy in Oakland... But common sense, decision making ability and compassion are supposed to be watch words of police duty.
"To protect and serve" after all. If this kid can't figure out the scenario involved in people rushing to a hospital, how is he going to act in a truly threatening situation under duress? Based on his reaction in this low risk incident, he's a hazard to the public... be they white or black. And the DPD or any PD should be doing all they can to eliminate bullies and sadists from their forces. And I certainly agree that Saratoga-sized city cops and County Mountie types are as bad or worse with this problem as big city badges.
